PLease explain how to solve this Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, Alan3354:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! None.
Any solution that leads to a contradiction is not a solution.
Similar to the problem.
There is no number such that when you add 1 to it, equals itself.
Because if I subtract x from both sides then,
So therefore there is no solution.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! None.
5 is not equal to 3.
You can get such a result when the equations are inconsistent.
eg:
x + y = 3
x + y = 5
The graphs are 2 parallel lines.
No intersection, no solution.
